Halley Banniter Smith, a daughter of Patricia McGuire Smith and Dr. Craig R. Smith of Bronxville, N.Y., was married Saturday to Stephen Joseph Clampett, the son of Cynthia Potter Clampett and Stephen M. Clampett of Farmers Branch, Tex. Melissa M. McGuire, an aunt of the bride and a Universal Life minister, officiated at Wave Hill in New York.

Ms. Smith, 30, will keep her name. She is a member of the technical staff of the international biological and chemical threat reduction program at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque; she conducts security and safety analysis with institutions, develops documentation and provides training. She graduated from Williams College and received a master’s degree in biohazardous threat agents and emerging infectious diseases from Georgetown.

Her father, a cardiac surgeon, is the chairman of the surgery department at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and is the surgeon in chief at the Vivian and Seymour Milstein Family Heart Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. Her mother retired as the hearing officer for parking violations in Bronxville.

Mr. Clampett, 29, is the assistant general counsel in the New Mexico governor’s office, in Santa Fe. He graduated magna cum laude from Wake Forest and received a law degree and a master’s degree in international affairs from American University in Washington.

His mother is a lay minister at Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in Dallas, providing support to people facing difficult life events, and she volunteers at Faith Presbyterian Hospice in Dallas, providing care to the terminally ill. His father is a consultant on travel technology in Farmers Branch, and was until 2012 the president of the airline products and solutions business unit of the Sabre Corporation, an air travel technology company in Southlake, Tex.

The couple met in 2010, on the eve of Ms. Smith’s birthday, through a mutual friend who thought they would be a good match.
